Gigg's (Tyler's nick name for Gagliardo) is IIRC in his 3rd year and really on a fast forward process with excellent support, some family history in road racing and can you say racing is in his DNA. Sort of like Lone Star JR's grand kid. :bigsquaregrin:

 

Now we move on to nice guy's Danica and Michael. Because Indy is said to be an easy track to learn, I'd expect you two to qualify in the top thirty which I expect all thirty will qualify within 1 second. :yep:

 

Did I cover my a$$ with the thirty qualify within one second. :rotfl:

Maybe, 

I haven't qualified out side the top 31 in my life so a 30 would be highly unlikely with out a mechanical problem.  That 31st was in a borrowed car that was 6 hp down at the 2013 runoffs after I totalled mine on the last lap, last turn of practice day.   In fact I am rather good at picking up new tracks, first time at VIR I was on pole at NASA nationals.  Yes I have a sordid history in big races, especially at tracks that require a drafting partner.  The only one that ever pushes me is Danny.  I think that is why Buras picked DS/MR.

I qualified 42nd at Nasa Champs one year and I think Fowler was 39th. I went off at the end of the back straight in the wet at Mid Ohio on 2nd lap :(  Fowler went around several laps laughing at me each time he passed until he joined me :) We had a fun race... I think we ended up just outside the top 10.

Hmm ... I looked at everyone's picks and unless I missed something ... nobody picked the Great Daniel Steyn to podium (besides Kyle Webb but he doesn't count).

I am going to go for Danica in 15th. I am going to try to challenge you for #1 in fun since that is usually my goal at all the races. Does that mean staying up the latest and consuming the most adult beverages? LOL.

 

You'll lose that battle!

 

You'll lose that battle nine times out of ten!! :D

I guess we all should have seen those headlines coming,Davison destroys the field on first test session... 4 seconds a lap faster then the next fastest competitor, flatout Motorsports is rumoured to be having second thoughts on their pick for lead driver and driver coach for 2018 mx5 cup!

Come-on now Caveman, cut the dude some slack, his first Runoffs, she may be in awe. :rotfl:

 

My 3podium picks are in the top 5.

 

My dark horse is in 10th.

 

And then there's the peoples choice Danica in 16th. Come on Danica, your outside the 1 second bracket by 1 second, meaning your 2 seconds off the Q1 pace.

Ron, not supposed to play along?

 

Danica, with me showing Thursday for the LCR, there's time for you to join the 1 second group.

 

Lee, you adopted Drago and you know with the colors of Texas Saul will be here shortly.  Hope the new car is working well.
